Bulb Tentacle Sea Anemone
Entacmaea quadricolor
This sea anemone lives attached to rocky reefs and coral rubble in warm, shallow Indo-Pacific waters. Its bulb-tipped tentacles sting and hold small fish, crustaceans, and plankton before drawing them to the central mouth. Many adults host clownfish, whose movements can provide food scraps and help defend the anemone from some predators.
